Determination of Optimal Shape for Gas Storage Salt Caverns

Energy Storage
ABSTRACTIn this study, the optimal shape for a gas storage cavern was determined by considering the elements that affect its stability and convergence. The considered factors influencing the stability of caverns include the bulk modulus of salt rock, ambient temperature, internal gas pressure, cavern depth, and cavern shape. By varying these parameters

Allowable pillar width for bedded rock salt caverns gas storage

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2015
Abstract Three-dimensional numerical models of bedded rock salt cavern gas storages of Jintan salt mine, Jiangsu province, China, are established using FLAC 3D simulator to investigate factors affecting the allowable width for pillars between two adjacent caverns.

Time dependent modeling of salt-cavern natural gas storage

2019
Natural gas storage plays a vital role in maintaining the reliability of supply needed to meet the demands of consumers. Storage in rock salt caverns is one of the three underground storage methods for natural gas. In this study, mechanical behavior of salt storage cavern was numerically considered in a time dependent model using ABAQUS finite element ...

Investigation on the cavity evolution of underground salt cavern gas storages

Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2016
Abstract Because of their prominent advantages in strategic energy reserves and peacetime peak adjustment, underground salt cavern gas storages have drawn attention worldwide. Moreover, embedding wastes in the underground space of salt caverns complies with the global theme of ecological environmental protection.

Mathematic modelling of the debrining for a salt cavern gas storage

Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2018
Abstract Debrining is one of the key steps to complete the construction of a salt cavern gas storage, which determines whether the cavern can transfer to underground gas storage (UGS) and the effective volume of a salt cavern UGS. A mathematical model is proposed based on the change characteristic of the dynamic depth of the interface between gas and

Gas Storage and Operations in Single-Bedded Salt Caverns: Stability Analyses

SPE Production & Operations, 2006
Summary Bedded salt formations are located throughout the U.S., providing valuable storage capacity for natural gas and other hydrocarbons. To increase gas-storage capabilities and provide operators with improved geotechnical design and operating guidelines for these caverns, stability analyses of single-bedded salt caverns have been ...

Dynamic response of underground gas storage salt cavern under seismic loads

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2014
Abstract A dynamic elastoplastic damage constitutive model is proposed based on the failure characteristic of rock salt under seismic loads. The coding of the proposed model is achieved by the embedded FISH (short for FLACish) language of FLAC3D (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua).
